Drive Mapping
When started, RecoverEDGE must try to equate your current disk drive
configuration with the one that existed when the Crash Recovery media was
generated. During this process, a current drive is equated with (mapped onto) an
“old” drive - one that existed when the media was made. This process enables
RecoverEDGE to determine how your “new” system will be configured, based on
how your “old” system was; all filesystems and fdisk partitions will be restored
to their original locations, with possible adjustments for hard drive size
differences.
For UnixWare
In this section, Linux drive terminology has been adopted for
clarity. Under the Linux naming convention, IDE drives are
generally named /dev/hda, b, c... while SCSI drives are called
/dev/sda, b, c.... UnixWare generally names devices by
controller, target, bus, and LUN, but the idea is exactly the
same. Linux names are more shorter and more convenient for
this description.
Under some circumstances, you may need or wish to manually edit the drive
mappings. For example, if you switch from an IDE hard drive (for example,
/dev/hda) to a SCSI hard drive (for example, /dev/sda), RecoverEDGE will not
detect automatically that the two drives should be mapped. In this case, you will
have to tell RecoverEDGE to map them:
